Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 1656

Murong Chen's birthday is coming.

In the past, when he was fighting outside, no one remembered his birthday except Murong Yue and Murong Guang.

But now he is the lord of Southern Yan, and there are many people who want to curry favor with him.

Even the Yan Emperor Murong Yue came to Southern Yan in person to celebrate and take a look at the new territory and new people.

The entire Yongchun City, whether inside or outside the palace, was bustling with activity, except for the Yingxue Palace, which was deserted.

No one knew what the Princess of Chu was busy with. She went in and out every day, but she always returned to the palace before the palace gates closed.

Murong Yue is coming to Nanyan in person, and the palace is full of people busying around. Who has the time and energy to care about what a poor princess is doing?
Even Murong Chen is busy in and out every day and comes back very late at night.

Princess Yingxue was very free during this period.

Finally, the birthday of the Lord of Southern Yan arrived.

The whole palace was filled with joy and was decorated with lights and colors everywhere.

The main hall of the imperial palace had already been decorated, with civil officials and military officers seated in order of rank, and the women in the harem also seated according to their seats.

The etiquette had been taught several times before, and at this moment everyone sat upright, waiting for Murong Yue's arrival.

"Why do you put me here? It's such a good day today, but I have to sit with the slaves of a conquered country. It's really unlucky!"

The person who spoke was the attendant that Lu Ziqing brought from the State of Yan. She had a somewhat tough face like a Yan person, but her skin was whiter than snow and her manners were graceful. At first glance, she was obviously a beauty who was deliberately selected.

Although they were attendants, they all knew in their hearts that they were the women of His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and they would have the opportunity to be consorts or imperial concubines in the future.

They looked down on the Chu people, and even more so on the Chu princess who used her seductiveness to seduce Prince Chen.

The other beauty smiled shyly and gently patted the beauty who had just spoken.

"The princess said that getting angry with others is far less effective than making yourself proud.

Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well think about how to get His Highness to your room.

Your Majesty is so generous and virtuous, she will definitely let me be your concubine."

After saying this, he glanced at Princess Yingxue with a charming look and said, "A servant is a servant. There is no way I can climb over the master's head. Your Highness is so heroic and capable, how could you not understand this truth?"

Xiao Ju stamped her feet in anger: "How can you talk like that? Aren't you afraid that His Highness will find out and pull out your tongues?"

Xiaoju thought what she said was harsh enough, but she didn't expect that the women laughed together.

“Oh my, my slave hasn’t said anything yet, but my slave’s slave is shouting here.

These weaklings from the Chu State are really interesting. No wonder their men are being trampled under the feet of our men!"

“Hahaha, yeah, this furious look is pretty funny, similar to the little pug I have in my house.

Your Highness has not returned from picking up His Majesty yet, why don't you bark a few more times so I can hear if you look like a little pug?"

"Hahahahaha!"

A burst of laughter came from the women's seats, causing the civil and military officials on the opposite side to glance over here from time to time.

"Princess!"

"No need to argue. I just accidentally spilled some wine on my dress. His Highness will be back soon. Please accompany me to change into a new dress so as not to offend His Highness."

"It's you who are polluting everyone's eyes here, hahaha!"

Xiaoju wanted to go over to argue, but Princess Yingxue pulled her hand hard and dragged her away.

Princess Yingxue seemed to not care at all about the women's sarcasm and ridicule.

In the dark night, she held Xiaoju's hand and walked faster and faster, going further and further away.

I walked straight to a corner of the Imperial Garden and stopped behind the rocky rockery. It was completely different from the bustling outside. It was quiet and there was no trace of human presence.

Only unknown birds were chirping on the treetops.

A cool breeze blew by, and Xiaoju shivered inadvertently.

"Princess, are you...going to give His Highness a surprise?"

Princess Yingxue looked at the gunpowder hidden by flowers and plants behind the rockery, and smiled for the first time in such a long time.

"Of course, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Xiaoju clenched his trembling hands into a fist, forced himself to remain calm, and took out a fire starter from somewhere.

"Princess...Princess...give it to you, or...or do you want to wait a little longer?"

There was a crisp sound from Princess Yingxue's hand, and the fire lighter lit up, illuminating her fair and rosy face.

Under the moonlight, it was actually a little creepy.

"Princess, wait a moment!"

"No need to wait. According to the time, he has already met his good brother and entered the palace. This princess just happened to give them a gift that they will never forget!"

Princess Yingxue took the fire stick and walked forward step by step.

Every extra step you take brings you more joy.

The flickering firelight reflected on her face, looking particularly eerie in this silent garden.

The corners of her mouth raised obscurely: "Murong Chen, I'm giving you this gift, would you like it?"

With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow flew through the air.

In an instant, the fire starter in her hand was extinguished.

"How could my Chen'er like your gift?"

This voice... is so familiar.

Princess Yingxue and Xiaoju turned around at the same time.

Xiaoju opened her mouth in surprise. It was him, the one who kept saying that the princess was a slave, trampled on the princess's dignity, and tried to separate the princess and His Royal Highness Prince Chen!
General Zhenyuan looked at the petite and cold Princess Yingxue standing in front of the dark green rockery, with a hint of pride on his lips.

He waved forward and said, "I've seen enough of the show, come out now!"

Murong Chen walked out slowly from the night. He was tall, handsome and heroic, his face full of anger mixed with heartache and disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ziqing and several beauties who had just humiliated Princess Yingxue at the banquet walked out together.

The beauty smiled silently and looked down at Princess Yingxue.

"Fortunately, Your Majesty is very careful, otherwise the entire palace would have been burned to a sea of ​​fire by the fallen princess."

Lv Ziqing looked at Princess Yingxue with a half-smile, and tilted the corner of her mouth towards the beauties: "You have also made contributions, and His Highness will definitely reward you."

Xiaoju opened her mouth in surprise and looked at them in disbelief.

They...they actually colluded with each other to provoke the princess and make her commit suicide in desperation.

These people are as beautiful as flowers and as meticulous as hair, but they are also cruel and ruthless. No wonder the princess and His Highness are growing further and further apart.

No wonder the princess would do such a thing.

In this cannibalistic harem, the princess is powerless and has no support. Without a powerful family to rely on, how will the princess survive in the future?

"Xiang Yingxue, why?"

General Zhenyuan sneered: "Chen'er, look at the gunpowder scattered all over this palace. As long as she lights the fuse, everything will be connected together and all of us will die. Do you still want to ask why?"
